Description

My fountain pens is the application about all of your past, present and future fountain pens. It will give you an answer to the question: which fountain pens do I already have and why do I need one more? Or two?

The application enables the lovers of fountain pens to form their own personal database and keep track of their fountain pen and ink collection. The application contains detailed description of each fountain pen (manufacturer, model, filling system, etc.) which can be filled out directly or you can chose to import the information using Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers.

Collection can be searched and sorted by manufacturer of model. Picture can also be joined to each fountain pen by taking it personally or using one from already existing gallery.

Probably the most useful feature is “price drops” where you can follow sales and special actions to expand your personal collection. At the end, don’t forget to stay updated: follow the most popular YouTube channels about fountain pens and add the ones you would like to follow, if already not included.

Great stuff

Could use the ability to photo inks like you have for the pens.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback, it's on TODO list now.

Good Idea poor support and import

I like the app as a whole but tried to import the backup into my iPhone and a smaller iPad so I had it available wherever I was working. It keeps crashing out - it finishes checking the backup (550mb in size) then asks if you want to replace and then just crashes! Checking data storage shows the data has imported but app shows 0 pens and inks!
What a waste of time imputing all my data. Oh and the developer doesn’t respond to emails!

PERSIAN SPHINX ,

Great little app!!

Great app to keep my collection in.

Due some love:
* The import export feature is bugged. I find myself editing the backup a lot before I can import it again. Luckily the app tells me why it can’t use its own backup, so editing is actually an option!
* the rating feature is bugged. If I put some stars in, they will change to some number between 4 and 48!
* the pen and ink databases are getting a little out of date and some entries are just wrong. Shockingly, there are no entries for a Parker Jotter or Vector. Dominant Industries are missing from the inks.
* some of the suggested ink hex codes are way off. Is there a possibility of using ink swatch.com to provide more accurate codes?
* would be cool if your ink entry had an option to automatically link to the correct mountain of ink page!

I’d definitely support if I knew there were updates on the way!!
